Nordmann and Sun Chemical celebrate 50 years of partnership

In December of 2023, Sun Chemical and Nordmann celebrated 50 years of successful partnership. For the past five decades, Nordmann has been distributing Sun Chemical’s pigments, dyes, and dispersions. More recently, Nordmann also began supplying Sun Chemical’s other colorant product lines as well as the company’s complete range of effect pigments for cosmetics in Austria, Central and Eastern Europe, Germany, Nordic, Poland and Switzerland.

Success through teamwork, trust and shared values

The modern business world is characterized by near-constant change, making long-term partnerships something of incredible valuable. When two companies can celebrate half a century of working together, it is a remarkable testament to their commitment, reliability and shared values.

 

Sun Chemical has always been the expert when it comes to bringing vibrant colors to life in the beauty industry, and the close and constructive cooperation that exists between the sales and technical teams of both companies allows customers in cosmetics manufacturing to receive top-notch advice and support.

 

Nordmann distributes Sun Chemical’s standard pigments, dyes, and dispersions in addition to its effect pigments, but is continually expanding its range. In summer 2022, the two companies agreed to extend their cooperation to include Sun Chemical’s selection of colorants. At the beginning of 2023, the entire range of effect pigments was also integrated, and to great success! The new product lines have become very well established in the Nordmann portfolio, are growing steadily and point toward a promising future.

What people say about the collaboration:

Stefan Sütterlin, President Color Materials at Sun Chemical, remarks: 

“Reliability and trust are the foundation of this long-standing partnership. Over the years, we have always been able to depend on one another to keep agreements and solve problems together. This trust has helped us to strengthen our joint business even in difficult times and give new impetus to this dynamic industry."

Gabriela Seefeldt, Business Director at Sun Chemical, comments: 

“Our shared values of integrity, fairness and respect are what have shaped our work together – and our understanding of one another has provided a solid basis for the long-term success we’ve experienced.”

Dr. Ulla Seidel, Global Sales Director Life Sciences at Nordmann, adds: “Excellent service has always been central to our decades-long partnership with Sun Chemical. The drive to understand customer needs and provide high-quality solutions has helped to build and maintain our relationships with them long-term. This focus on service has been key to the satisfaction and loyalty of our customers, and in turn to our many years of successful collaboration with our partners at Sun Chemical.”
